Hi all, As you may have heard, PayPal is closing its operation in Turkey next week, on June 6th. What are the other payment alternatives, except Skrill (which take a lot of time to activate) and wire-transfer (not all payments justify a SWIFT wire transfer operation) Thanks Omer | | | Turkey refuses licence | May 31, 2016 |

See more According to PayPal's announcment on www.paypal.com/tr , it is the Turkish authorities that refuse to issue the necessary licences. As for an alternative for receiving money in Turkey, I would suggest Transferwise: https://transferwise.com/help/article/1570071/basic-information/supported-countries#/TRY They're cheaper than PayPal too. If you send 50 euros today, the payee in Turkey will receive 158.70 TRY. You can't send money out of Turkey with Transferwise, though. ▲ Collapse | | | Omer Shani Israel Local time: 21:05 Member (2012) English to Hebrew + ...

A couple of agencies have used Payoneer to send me money, it's always worked fine for me. | | | BabelOn-line United Kingdom Local time: 19:05 English to French + ... Plus one for TransferWise | Jun 10, 2016 |
I landed on this post when looking for comments on Skrill (which I found difficult to the point I am now seriously thinking of closing our a/c after 14 years). We use TransferWise all the time, it is quick, reliable and they are under the UK Financial Service Authority. The few times I had to call their support, I found them quick and helpful - try contacting Skrill, you will see the difference! Only minor issue with TransferWise is 1/ they normally only send money in t...

The few times I had to call their support, I found them quick and helpful - try contacting Skrill, you will see the difference! Only minor issue with TransferWise is 1/ they normally only send money in the national currency of the bank account (bank a/c in India => you can only send rupees) 2/ from what they tell me, they can only send money to private a/cs in China, not business ones. So I am looking for a simple way to pay our translators in China. I have a deep seated distrust for PayPal and Skrill, there are thousand of documented horror stories of accounts being frozen for no reason, etc... ▲ Collapse | | | Sheila Wilson Spain Local time: 19:05 Member (2007) English + ...

My husband uses his PayPal account to purchase things on the Internet rather than to receive money. He doesn't keep anything in there at all. When he wants to buy something he just tells PayPal to send the money and they take it from his bank account. That doesn't cost anything. At least, neither PayPal nor our bank charge for the service. Maybe it's different for you? | | | Payza: alternative payment system to PayPal | Jun 23, 2016 |
